Porter Airlines flight in Canada canceled after child refuses to sit down and buckle up
Porter said the plane could not safely depart after crew and a parent failed to secure the child, and 132 seats were affected by the cancellation.
- A Porter Airlines flight from Victoria to Toronto was canceled after a young child refused to sit down and buckle their seatbelt while the aircraft was taxiing toward the runway.
- Cabin crew and the child's parent attempted to secure the toddler, but their efforts were unsuccessful, forcing the crew to return to the terminal to disembark the family due to mandatory safety regulations.
- Offloading the family, locating their checked baggage, refiling flight plans, and completing paperwork took over two hours, extending past the airport's operational limit.
- The accumulated delay pushed the flight past Victoria International Airport's 12:30 a.m. runway curfew, preventing the plane from taking off and forcing the airline to cancel the flight.
- Passengers were stranded overnight in Victoria before being rebooked onto a rescheduled flight that departed for Toronto the following day.
